The frustration - No YPN here, rejected by Chitika

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by Colleen, Dec 1, 2005.

    It's not fun reading about how all you get to play with YPN and Chitika.

    YPN is only accepting US sign-ups for now. (Anyone know when us Canadians get a chance?? eh)

    Chitika keeps rejecting application after application, what the hell do they want from me? geesh. I have 20+ sites, guess I will keep trying.

    So I get to read all your testing and fun... and not get to play.

    Maybe I am in luck and will finally get my chance when they've perfected their YPN, and you guys are all just their guinea pigs. :p

    Forget Chitika and YPN, put away your laptop and come snorkling with me ;) hehe

    Neverheard of Chitika til today - don't like the ads and YPN, not in the US, so can't try it out... just guess earning a few £ on Adsense will keep me out of trouble for now!

    At first Chitika looked hella fun but now I read more and more people are not even going to bother, yet I am still curious. And I really want YPN.

    Sorry Darren, you can't get the geek out of me, maybe after a few Sex on Da Beach's.

    I hope you get accepted Roman.

    I'd like to know what they want, their reasons for rejection don't ever apply.

    When you leave murderers in jail, or at the very least, execute them ;)

    Seriously though. I don't know what they want. I would suggest emailing them and asking why you were rejected. I've seen quite a few people rejected. Those that are typically have sites that have little to no content, or content that just will never yield a payout. Anyway, I have not seen Chitika to be the wonder performer some have claimed. It's ok, but heavily audited and impossible to monetize from given the reporting takes place once every 24 hours. That makes it very difficult to adjust things SEO wise down the road when it takes 24 hours or more to determine what worked and what did not.

    In any event there are so many other programs out there. PM me and I will send you a link to a bunch that you will likely get accepted to and will find work extremely well.

    BTW, turn off the fans, it's getting cold down here in the US :)

    Our judicial system leaves a lot to be desired, I agree. I am glad we put Bernardo in for life although he deserves a very ugly demise and slow at that. :(

    Thanks, I may do just that!

    It's for a new site and someone here designed the layout in exchange for me signing up under them so it's kind of frustrating.

    that is the generic confirmation mail to confirm the email id..
    everyone get that...I dnt think reapplication is against their TOS.
    their TOS is totaly inspired by the adsense so I think if it is not against in google it is not against in chitika

    I got rejected because the domain I used was different than the domain for the email I used. ohwell F them :D

    Such a stupid reason IMO, could have easily asked for a different email or possibly proof I owned the domain. Whatever reason, maybe I'm the dumb ass but when you have multiple domains you don't always use email addy's of a site you're trying to sign up for.

    I used my gmail account for my many attempts, I didn't know it had to match the domain either. :( Oh well, the last app I used a matching email. :) If they reject it, then I give up, it's my best site.

    Mia gave me some great alternatives.
